HOT-BOX COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

This invention relates to journal box lubrication and more particularly to a pompound for a hot box and in preparing onehalf pint of the same the following ingredients-are employed mixed at a temperature of approximately 80 to 90 F. in about the proportions stated, i. e.,

. V Per cent.

Elain oil (commercial oleic acid) 16.5 Lard oil 3.5 Mineral oil 39.02 Potash 3.10

axle journals and to movingmachineparts in general. When so used it prevents generatron of heat in the contacting surfaces between which it is applied. By stirring the so mixture well it becomes essentially an emulsion of non-saponifiable oil and water held together bysoap. In using the compound, it is poured over ordinary cotton waste or wool so that the latter becomes saturated therewith. Thus saturated, the cotton or wool is applied to the journal box or other part. If the journal box is hot or on fire,. the fire is first extinguished, and the waste saturated by, my compound'is stufied into the journal box and when in place therein more of the compound may-be poured over it, finding its waytothe proper surface by capillary attraction;

What is claimed is:
